PopEd’s Fall 2020 Theme: Why Populations Grow

Over the next two months, PopEd will offer free K-12 lesson plans and other resources focused on one of the most fundamental yet complex questions of demographics—why populations grow. Lessons will cover: how demographers measure population growth rates (including the rate of natural increase and doubling times), how the status of women and girls influences fertility, the role of the Demographic Transition Model in explaining population change over time, and the impact of migration. Read more, and see a sampling of resources available for this theme on the PopEd blog!
